power steering noise coming from power steering can anyone help

 

Seems to me that you are enquiring about 2 faults.

As already mentioned, check the wiring between the door and wing (FAQ's should reveal any more help if needed)

Power steering noise, check fluid level and belt.

I'd agree 100% with Saif. If the power steering noise is a screeching from the belt, have you got the engine undertray off? If belt gets wet, it can be more prone to slipping. On mine, in the wet the belt could slip enough so the assistance disappeared altogether, very suddenly and of course in mid-turn - NOT a happy experience. I found the bracket the pump mounts to had fractured at the end of the outrigger/stabiliser that reaches a few inches towards the centre of the engine. Also, after garage changed cam belt, a bolt that holds the same casting set near the block went walkabout leaving the whole lot very unhappy. Hopefully yours just needs the fluid topping up or the belt adjusting.

A very good point Alan about the undertray. A very important but regulary overlooked especially when fitted to the Galaxy's, Alhambra's and Sharan's. There have been numerous posts here about how the rain can get in to the belts, especially the power steering which causes the belt to slip or come off resulting in loss of steering.

Motto is: Check to see if your people carrier as one fitted especially if you had it recently serviced at a garage.

Ran mine without one for a while trying to track down some other issues, and I got (maybe coincidence) the siezed gearlinkage problem - fortunately fixed with wd40. It's a learning curve...
